Testimonials: What attendees enjoyed most about the 2024 Gender Journeys Day Conference
“Kumu Hina’s opening speech was one of the most powerful presentations I have ever experienced. I’m forever grateful to have heard her speak today. Maika’i loa to all of you.””
“Feeling supported and sharing with others.”
“I loved connecting with other providers and community members, being able to support the community with their needs.”
“I’m a trans youth and being a part of this was important. My dad is my biggest ally and even though he supports me fully, having him here was important.”
“The sense of community and seeing we are not the only ones going on this journey - we aren’t alone.”
“It was personally empowering for me in my own journey of gender expression.”
